To gather material for this book the author wandered in July and A ugust, 1916, along the Rio Grande as a warless war correspondent. Disappointed in the absence of sanguinary battles, he turned his attention to the less bloodthirsty inhabitants and the country in which they lived, and felt it had been worth the journey. What he has said concerning them was written hastily from day to day for the New York Morning Telegraph, to which he is indebted for the permission to reprint it He does not offer this book for literary merits, nor has he any message to convey. For this he apologizes. He has described conditions only as he found them and persons whom he has met, without coloring to suit a purpose. If he conveys to the reader a small part of the interest and strangeness of the land by the Rio Grande his mission shall have been fulfilled the message can be reserved for some distant date. T. H.
